Made in China... gifts.

Hi y'all!
Well, Will's Mum got back from China yesterday and brought with her a MOUNTAIN of gifts for Peabody! Will's cousins (well, second cousins really) in Hong Kong own a Bra factory so sent back some (interesting looking) Maternity bra's for me... I have yet to try them on... I'm not sure they realise whities and asians have slightly different body shapes! LOL! But another cousin sent me a lovely solid silver bangle which was really nice of them {score!} and also 2 tiny ones exactly the same, only with bells on them, for Peabody! Oh they are so cute! Peabody also got a tiny jade bangle from another cousin. So spoilt! I was a bit worried about the kind of clothing that would be sent back from China, but it's not too bad! There are certainly heaps to choose from so I'm sure Peabody will wear most of them! They are mostly large sizes though, about a 0 or 1, so Peabody will have to wait a bit. One confusing thing is why they sent 4 of the same outfit, in 2 different sizes? Weird. But they did that with 3 onesies! I guess I better not get sick of that one!
And Will's Mum brought all this back for Peabody too (second pic). She hardly bought herself anything cos she said it was too expensive in HK these days (she last went 10 years ago!) but she didn't hold back when it came to Peabody! She even bought 2 baby carriers, one in pink and one in blue. I hope they would pass Australian Safety Standards if we were to test them. Hehehehe {nervous laugh}. I love the big blue puffy outfit on the far right! So funny! And I told Will his Mum thinks Peabody is a boy and look at all the blue stuff she bought! There is hardly a pink thing there!
Well Peabody, I don't think you are ever going to have to go naked!

Baby Clothes Galore!

Well here it is: The pic of all the Baby Clothes I got in Hawaii!

I think the Carter's stuff is my fave over all- like the "sleepers" all in ones on the bottom right with their big owl, deer, squirrel and Lamb (for our Little Lam- LOL) and the Turkey Bib. Ok we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but who doesn't need a Turkey bib. Not our baby! In the boy stuff on the left, my fave outfits are the onesie that says "This is How I Roll" cos Will and I say that to each other a lot! And the Beaver one that says "Busy being Cute". I'm sorry, I don't view Kangaroos and Koalas which as much fondness as I do Beavers and Squirrels. Don't you always want what you don't have? Kangaroos were a dime a dozen where I grew up so maybe they've lost their luster for me! And I always thought only Japanese tourists bought clothes with Koala's on them. I bet if Carters did a Koala line I'd love it though. Hmmm... maybe it's not the animal, it's just they need to draw it in a really cute way. Cos those Polar Bears are so darn cute! Alicia thinks the Polar Bear dad on the onesies looks like Will! LOL! I had to get 2 pieces in that collection cos it was just SO CUTE!
As you can see I also got a million pairs of tiny shoes. So my shoe love has spilled over into baby shoe love (I'd already bought some tiny shoes the last time I was in Hawaii so I don't think you can blame Peabody for this love!) But they were just so cheap! The dinosaur slippers for a newborn were only $5. CHEAP! And those little Grandpa plaid slip ons were $7.50. BARGAIN!
Talk about bargains- see that Pink Panda print at the bottom of this pic? It's a onesie and it cost me $1. Yep! And believe it or not, it wasn't the cheapest baby item we got! Alicia got a chambray denim shirt for Xander for 88c! YEP! I had to go back and get one cos that was ridiculous! I did buy almost every item of baby clothing with an Owl on it. LOL! At least I haven't stopped loving owls :) I love all the woodland animals, so cute! I love the Rabbit talking to the bird on the onesie in this pic. CUTE! And of course when I saw the Cupcake bib I had to have that one too! {heart} Aren't the little purple Baby Gap ballet's the cutests! They were only like $7. I just couldn't help myself! And there are more of those Old Navy slippers- this time rabbit ones for a little girl. I also got Owl ones and Polar Bear ones. Our little one will never be without shoes!
And if Peabody turns out to be a girl I've got some really cute Size 2 Metallic Gladiators for her to wear at Darlington Park next year! Now that's planning ahead! LOL!
